On the state-run people’s web site, the CBC.CA division of the Liberal Party reports on the rise of syphilis in big Canadian cities, which by shear coincidence is where the liberal-left get most of their electoral votes.
Toronto’s public health department is warning people to watch for symptoms of syphilis following a steep increase in the number of reported cases.
More than 350 residents in the city were diagnosed with the sexually transmitted disease in 2004. That number stood at just 30 in 2001.
That’s not “a rise”—that’s a more than 11-fold increase in just three years. It’s way more than doubling every year. And they’re worried about that man-made global warming by one-degree in the next 8 zillion years, um, theory? They may be sticking the thermometer in the wrong hole.
(Memo to Libby Davies) It was the state-run web site, not I, who brought up the fact that it is spreading amongst the gay population.
The disease appears to be spreading quickly among gay men, said Toronto’s assistant medical officer of health. Vancouver and Ottawa are experiencing similar cases.
“Syphilis is out there in the gay community, particularly in people who are having a lot of anonymous sex in bathhouses and so on,” said Dr. Rita Shahin. […]
Oh, it’s particularly in gay people who are having a lot of anonymous sex in bathhouses and so on. OK because I was worried about getting it myself from reading or going for a walk with my wife.
Not a week ago, the state-run web site reported that all sorts of delightful sexually-transmitted diseases were on the rise. Planned Parenthood, a pro-abortion and “if it feels good, do it” advocate—is leading the charge to… not abstain from sex. Rather, it is pleading with people to simply have “safer sex”. So far, that Planned Parenthood plan has been working marvelously well. Much as it has for the women—over 100,000 of them per year in Canada—who have sex then suddenly find themselves pregnant by way of some confounded, mysterious “penis/vagina” interaction thing, and abort the annoying growth of human life.
OTTAWA — After years in decline, sexually transmitted infections are on the rise again among 15 to 24 year olds. In response, Planned Parenthood Ottawa has launched a campaign to encourage young people to get tested.
Gonorrhea infections in Ottawa tripled between 1997 and 2003. Chlamydia infections in Canada are up 76 per cent among young women and up 58 per cent among young men. Syphilis is also on the rise.
The campaign, launched this week, targets young people through bus, restaurant and bar advertising that tells them STIs are not as easy to see as the spots on a ripening banana, because many have no symptoms.
“Our concern here is that the rise in these other diseases may be a precursor to a rise in HIV,” said Dr. David Salisbury. “These diseases are eminently more treatable. HIV is much more difficult to treat, and we don’t want to see a rise in HIV because people are not practising safer sex.”
Tell you what, Planned Parenthood: think really carefully about how HIV and any sexually-transmitted disease is manifestly spread, you PP geniuses.
